De Kinderrechtenmonitor laat zien hoe het gaat met kinderen die in Nederland opgroeien. Met deze monitor wordt gemeten of en hoe kinderrechten, zoals vastgelegd in het Internationaal Verdrag inzake de Rechten van het Kind (IVRK), in Nederland worden nageleefd.

Van de Open dagen en meeloopdagen tot de mogelijkheid om online proefstudeermodules te volgen: de universiteit probeert studiekiezers zo goed mogelijk voor te bereiden op hun nieuwe studie. In dat kader zijn de bacheloropleidingen Nederlandse taal en cultuur en English Language and Culture dit semester…

Structuur vinden in ongestructureerde eiwitten en medicijnen ontwikkelen voor ongeneesbare ziektes: het klinkt misschien als een onmogelijk missie, maar toch is het precies waar farmacoloog Alireza Mashaghi en zijn team mee bezig zijn. NWO honoreerde onlangs hun onderzoeksproject via de Open Competitie…

Arithmetic geometry concerns the number-theoretic properties of geometric objects defined by polynomials. Mathematicians are interested in the rational solutions to these geometric objects.

There are many interpretations of quantum mechanics, and ultimately experiments are needed to verify or falsify these interpretations.

In this thesis, I study the formation of large-scale structure and the physics of particle acceleration at large scales (~Mpc).

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

Science is typically a patchwork of research contributions without much coordination. Especially in clinical trials, the follow-up studies that we do fail to be the most promising.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

Molecular materials have been a subject of interest in fundamental research and applications for decades, and have been studied as bulk crystals, (thin) films and as individual molecules, due to the large variety in their properties. This dissertation explores pentacene crystals near the two-dimensional…

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

Binnen dit instituut wordt veel gevangenisonderzoek verricht. Detentie is de strengste sanctie die in de strafrechtstelsels van de Europese landen wordt toegepast.

President Trump kondigt 16 augustus aan twee economische adviesraden op te heffen. BNR Radio interviewt Arco Timmermans, bijzonder hoogleraar Public Affairs. Timmermans benadrukt twee zaken: er zijn andere wegen om het beleid van de president te beïnvloeden en de reputatie van de bedrijven speelt een…

In dit artikel in The Irish Times vertelt Pádraig Corrigan over zijn ervaring met studeren in het buitenland aan Leiden University College in Den Haag.

Dit op casestudies gebaseerde Engelstalige boek over multivariate analyse voor gevorderde studenten in de geesteswetenschappen legt de nadruk op beschrijvende, exploratieve analyses van verschillende soorten datasets uit een breed scala van subdisciplines, waarbij het gebruik van multivariate analyse…

Binnen het brede netwerk van de Universiteit Leiden neemt het instituut deel aan onderzoek binnen de volgende profileringsgebieden:

The thesis is about the study of shell evolution of the Hydrocenidae of the genus Georissa. This thesis started with a general overview on the evolutionary process of animals due to ecological changes.

This dissertation is part of a broader research project that revolves around unraveling the evolution of balanced lethal systems.

The European Council and the European Commission have a similar role in agenda setting. Both place issues on the EU agenda. However, these institutions have distinct designs. They have different political attributes (the European Council has considerably more political authority) and information-processing…

This dissertation is a collection of four research articles devoted to the study of Kummer theory for commutative algebraic groups.

In this thesis we study products of linear error correcting codes.

The Low Frequency Array enables studies of low-frequency carbon radio recombination lines with unprecedented sensitivity, spectral and spatial resolution.

In Chapter 1 we provide some background information about modular forms, describe the correspondence between half-integral and integer weight modular forms and explain how the coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms encode the central values of L-functions of twisted modular forms.

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of orphan diseases characterized by lysosomal dysfunction or impaired lysosomal catabolism and affect collectively about 1 in 5000 live births.

To get an idea of the science communication products and research that is possible, a few examples of student projects of recent years are shown below.

The mission of our group is understanding how science communication works to improve the interaction between science and society. We believe better science communication can improve our society and engage many different groups with science, also improving science.

Learning from small data sets in machine learning is a crucial challenge, especially when dealing with data imbalances and anomaly detection. This thesis delves into the challenges and methodologies of learning from small datasets in machine learning, with a particular focus on addressing data imbalances…

DNA carries various forms of information. Out of these forms of information the most well-known is classical genetic information.

This work describes the use of click-to-release chemistry to get spatiotemporal control over immunocytokine activity. Until now, immunocytokines (cytokines coupled to a tumor-targeting-moiety) remained active throughout the body, being able to bind their respective receptors, causing mild to severe…

The plant hormone auxin regulates plant growth and development through polar cell-to-cell transport-generated maxima and minima. PIN FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux carriers determine the direction of this auxin flow through their asymmetric placement on the plasma membrane (PM).

Leerlingen uit de bovenbouw van het vwo binden de strijd met elkaar aan op het Max Havelaar Toesprakentoernooi. Het doel: een topspeecher worden, je verdiepen in fairtrade én het werk van Multatuli beter leren kennen.

In the last decade, the redox interconversion between metal thiolate and disulfide compounds has been extensively investigated for copper, but not for other transition metal ions.
